2UNESCO Education SectorEducation is UNESCO’s top priority because it is a basic human right and the foundation on which to build peace and drive sustainable development. UNESCO is the United Nations’ specialized agency for education and the Education Sector provides global and regional leadership in education, strengthens national education systems and responds to contemporary global challenges through education with a special focus on gender equality and Africa.
The Global Education 2030 AgendaUNESCO, as the United Nations’ specialized agency for education, is entrusted to lead and coordinate the Education 2030 Agenda, which is part of a global movement to eradicate poverty through 17 Sustainable Development Goals by 2030. Education, essential to achieve all of these goals, has its own dedicated Goal 4, which aims to “ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all.” The Education 2030 Framework for Action provides guidance for the implementation of this ambitious goal and commitments.

The SDGs are the heart of the 2030 Agenda, and represent a comprehensive results framework covering 16 thematic areas as well as global partnership and means of implementation.
The 2030 Agenda proposes a holistic approach to development strategies and calls for pursuing all dimensions of sustainable development in a balanced and integrated way. Its implementation requires an unprecedented level of commitment expressed through a strong collaborative partnership.
